Central v. Burke sends bullets through the air!

So last night I went to the Central v. Burke game. Afterwards, as the Benson Bunnies were being announced, a fight suddenly broke out on the other side of the arena. Twenty people began throwing punches as the cheerleaders from Omaha North ran the opposite direction. A police officer jumped in the middle of the brawl and sent everyone involved running. Within a minute, the situation was under control. Or was it? The fight just moved outside and within 7 minutes shots had been fired. When I left the arena, at least 20 cop cars lined two streets for 4 blocks. Two ambulances sped down the street and multiple police officers took off running in various directions. This is something you don't see everyday, especially at Westside games. It was an experience to say the least.
